Take
Toronto -6.5 over Oklahoma
City (1:05 p.m. EST, Sunday
March 18)
The Raptors will be ultra
motivated here on Sunday as
they go for a franchise-
record 12 straight wins.
They
are playing the best
basketball in the east and
in
our eyes are the clear
favorite to represent that
conference in the NBA
Finals.
They have that good of a
team
this year. They are the
better team, at this point
in
the season, in this matchup
and they are 7-2 ATS in day
games this season. They
normally play very well in
these early matinee games
and
we expect the same today.
The
Thunder are just 3-9 ATS
away
from home against winning
teams and they also have a
tough game coming up Tuesday
at Boston to worry about and
since that is the
more "marquee" matchup they
may be more focused on that
game. But if both teams play
their best, we think Toronto
wins by 7+ in this game.
